Sumerian kings emerged into Mesopotamia, ventured their own societies, and later conflicts turned to wars.
Conquerors extended their authority and built empires that took over affairs of cities and people
Each king had their own way of governing their empire
Revolts and revolutions
Sargon seized control and his empire embraced all of Mesopotamia
After Sargon's empires fell of rebellion, Hammurabi later reignd as king of four quarters of the world, and became a more effiecient ruler than Sargon since he had his own techniques
After Hammurabi's reign was over, Assyrians took over
However, Assyrian's empire was really unpopular which resulted in a fall and Babylonian empire was taking over for the second time
Empires
Mesopotamian empires became stronger when Sumerian kings started improving on their reign
Hammurabi reigned the Babylonian empire and did a better job than Sargon because of his code, and ruling techniques
The Assyrian empire ruled after the Babylonian empire collasped but its domination was quite unpopular
So for half a century, Babylon once again dominated Mesopotamia after the Assyrian empire had fallen
Nations and nationalism
For almost a millenium, Sumerians cities such as Babylon, Kish, Nippur, Lagash, Uruk, Ur, and Eridu dominated affairs in Mesopotamia
Basically, these empires ruled and took place in parts all over Mesopotamia
Regional, transregional, and global structures and organizations
The organization of each empire was operated differently in their own ways
For example, Sumerian kings ruled in cooperation with nobles, Sargon reigned by conquering and seizing, Hammurabi ruled by a code, and Assyrians ruled by organizing powerful armies
The structure counted on whether kings ruled great or not, if not, their empire would fall because of rebellions
State-building, expansion and conflict
